The Department of Mathematics, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Science, had organized a lecture entitled “Dynamics of a toxic ecosystem of a three-way food chain represented by salamander, frog and snake” in the presence of a number of students, researchers and those interested in environment.
The aim of the lecture was to show the relationship of ecosystems to mathematics and how nature is not subject to randomness, but rather hides with it accurate mathematical characteristics that enable ecosystems to survive and continue, especially animals and the relationship of the food chain to them. The lecture was presented by Prof. Dr. Azhar Abbas Majid and Assist. Prof. Atheer Jawad Kazim who explained the characterizes of this system and how animal’s life interacts with the food chain of this ecosystem and how it continues to live, which is not random at all, but mathematical laws that exist in nature and have a common characteristic among all ecosystems of cohesion or of food consistency, as this system has three standard differential equations used to study this system in all matters related to the conditions of existence, stability and survival.
